    Use of "Favorite"

    Okay, I realized the other day that I don't know the construction for the use of "Favorite". So I checked out lingvo, and this is what the query brought up:

    . прил.; тж. favorite

    1) излюбленный, любимый, наиболее предпочтительный

    2) возлюбленный

    So, my question is this: which is the appropriate use in the casual sense? I.E. My favorite movie is....

    Thanks!

    So you can say something like:

    Когда я младщий, мой любимый фильм был "Бамбй"

    or

    Мой любимый фильм сейчас "Mission Impossible 3"

    Thanks,

    yes you can say like that:

    когда я был младше, мой любимый фильм был "Бэмби", а сейчас мой любимый фильм "Миссия невыполнима 3".

    -----------------------------
    Артём, я помню этот фильм - Кошмар на улице Взяов - про нинзя.
    Я так думаю.
